Evaluation of the public transport service for swine manure in the Municipality of Presidente Castelo Branco, Santa Catarina, SC.

Abstract

The present work aimed to carry out a monitoring and analysis of the services provided by the agricultural fleet of the Secretary of Agriculture and Environment of the municipality of Presidente Castelo Branco, SC. The follow-up carried out over a period of three years allowed a broad qualitative and quantitative survey of the services provided, as well as the identification of several improvements that need to be carried out so that these services can be carried out in a way that more efficiently meets the principles of administration public, which are: legality, impersonality, publicity, morality and efficiency. The evaluation carried out over a period of three years found that the service with the highest number of calls was “transport of liquid pig manure as organic fertilizer” (DDLS), with a total of 913 calls, followed by “silage”, with an average of 609 assistances and, “water supply”, with 304 assistances. The average for the years 2020 to 2022, in the DDLS service, shows that the fleet of machines worked 2,752 hours/machine, having performed a total of 2,738 calls and covering 364 farmers (three-year average). The information generated will serve as the basis for studies on optimizing the logistics and automating the management of the agricultural fleet at the Department of Agriculture and the Environment in the municipality of Presidente Castello Branco, as well as seeking ways to value the service of distributing liquid pig manure.
